Watchface: Glance

over 3 years ago

NEWS UPDATE:

EASY+: 

https://apps.garmin.com/apps/7c993e2b-70b3-459a-bbe0-db48a89af5a8?tid=0

With introduction of Garmin Pay, I am starting to add a new payment option for some of my apps. The system is not flexible enough to just add Garmin Pay to existing apps, so I'll publish a copy of an app, with the same functionality but Garmin Pay as the payment provider.

The first one out is Glance Ultra (a copy of Glance Dual Screen):

EASY Round - 2023 #1 watch face of the year (by Garmin):

EASY Round

GLANCE WATCH FACE app won THE BEST NEW WATCH FACE APP OF 2022 ! At the Developers conference Garmin announced nominees and winners for the best apps in different categories. Glance Watch Face was nominated and won in the best new watch face category Slight smile! Garmin didn't post the video from the conference yet, but it was already reported by other websites: https://the5krunner.com/2022/10/12/garmin-app-watchface-of-the-year-2022-ciq-winners-and-nominees-announced/

The idea for this app is simple:
- Use only large fonts, so that all data are visible at a glance (hence the name of the app: Glance   )
- Put as much data on the screen as possible, without sacrificing font size above
- Make all data fields customizeable to your needs
- Make colors customizeable as much as possible, so users can create their own design

The "Glance Watch Face" app is 100% FREE - no hidden restrictions, nagging, or expiration:

There is also a mostly free app - BIG EASY: apps.garmin.com/.../86ec352b-da01-4806-8972-770c6d32a5e8

There are also two paid versions of this app - "Glance Pro":

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ac4be3ce-f0f3-4c49-be01-5fa52614ab2b

and "Glance Dual Screen":

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/5c0fe72b-f045-4366-a878-d3e67c600868

Paid versions are identical to the free version (so no worries, FREE doesn't mean bad!), but have a lot of extra features features:

  • Open Weather Map support
  • Setting for TIME font weight
  • New way to use shared color themes
  • Support for many new metrics (like Body Battery, Stress Level, and lots more)
  • Extra progress bars and Graphs (in Dual Screen only)
  • Two separate data screens (in Dual Screen only) 
  • A lot more - see apps description for the full list
  • You have an opportunity (and a small incentive) to support the development Slight smile

Unique feature of the Glance apps - you can save your own Color Themes and quicly switch between them righ on the watch.

NEW: Now you can SHARE your Color Theme! You can also quickly apply Color Themes shared with you. Here is a full description of how it all works: https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance.html#color

Here is the current Color Themes Gallery: https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance_gallery.html

Color themes are compatible between "Glance" and "Glance Pro" (except for "inactive status icons color", which became obsolete in "Pro").

I'd love to see all color combinations you came up with. Please post your themes in the Reviews and I'll add them to the gallery!

Questions and suggestions are welcome!

    Hi! I'm al old pro user of the great Big Easy. Now on my new fenix 8 amoled it's wonderful. 

    One thing though: would it be possible to save the setup?

    I'm working on a Connect IQ version of the BIG EASY, and it will be possible to save the user color theme there. Adding it to the current BIG EASY is hard because it needs to support low memory watches.

    Hi again. How are you? On the easy+ long pressing the moon phase complication takes me to the sunrise and sunset widget instead of the moon details widget. Is this something you are able to change?

    Long pressing the sunset or sunrise times takes me to the right sun widget.

    Garmin doesn't have a stock complication for Moon (unlike Sun), so I'm not able to launch it directly. So I launch the next closest thing.

    Hi,

    The watchfaces are very readable and designed nicely. I have one question anyway: could you please put here or on the watchface's site the mapping of the themes encoding to the items on the watchface and the colours?

    I found it the quickest way to change the 2-nd screen theme this way but... I'm a little bit too lazy to check it via trials and errors Wink

    I've only found that the third letter is for minutes color...

    Thanks in advance

    Robert

    Theme strings are not meant to be edited directly. The only way to change them is by saving the settings and then getting the current color theme.

    Hi,

    Easy Round is awesome! But I have a question... I’m not sure if someone has already asked this before, so apologies if that’s the case. Is there a specific reason why the “Status, AM/PM, and Seconds Combo” field can’t be placed in Field 5 (bottom)? It would align well with the hours and minutes vertically and would allow placing a field like the battery percentage next to the “Battery Bar” on the right.

    Thanks!

    Technically it is possible, but esthetically I prefer seconds on the right (if possible). It is also a pretty difficult metric - it requires a custom treatment, so not so easy to do draw it in separate places.
